Well the dev center just came back up, but now Heroku.com won't load.
They are in the middle of a maintenance period, but they assured everyone there would be no downtime.

Why are they doing maintenance right smack in the middle of a Monday afternoon!? Losing a crap ton of money right now.
Update on Heroku's status page:
"Update

PX dynos seem to be fine (at least mine are). Our staging environment on 2X dynos however are having the same errors as others.
Looks like I'm back...
Every SaaS product I've built has analyzed traffic, and performed migrations/deployments at off-hours (generally, after midnight in our dominant time zone). In this case, the outage may have resulted in hundreds (thousands?) of paged administrators across the world, but at least fewer end-users would have been affected.
Also, at scale, it's a good idea to deploy to a single cluster/zone first, and check error rates before deploying to the larger environment.
It's pretty scary that the 'professionals' to whom I've trusted my business aren't more savvy when it comes to high availability...
